Desert wells are structure-like features consisting mostly of sandstone.

Generation

Desert wells generate in desert biomes. They have a 1⁄1000‌ or 1⁄500‌ chance to be generated in the given chunk. It is possible for a well to generate around a cactus. The well is considered a feature rather than a structure, and therefore it generates with the "Generate Structures" option disabled.[1]

Construction

Main article: Desert Well/Structure

Desert wells are built of sandstone blocks and slabs with a water source inside. Underneath the water source are two suspicious sand blocks that can be brushed to get various items. The first suspicious sand generates directly below the water source blocks, and the second generates below that layer.

Loot

In Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, each desert well's suspicious sand contains 1 item stack, with the following distribution:

Item Stack Size [A] Weight [B] Chance [C] Avg.
